Remy Ma is scheduled to go on trial July 12th for allegedly assaulting her Love & Hip Hop: New Yorkco–star, Brittney Taylor.
Remy is accused of punching Taylor “in the face with a closed fist, causing bruising and swelling to [her] right eye” on the evening of April 16th, at an Irving Plaza cancer charity concert. Smith faces misdemeanor assault and harassment charges, according to court documents.
Remy had a polished look when she arrived at Manhattan criminal court on Friday morning, sporting a white blazer and matching stilettos, as well as black pants and a coordinating Chanel purse.
Remy’s last court appearance, her attorney conceded that she did perform at this benefit, but insisted she was with her baby at the time of this alleged assault, not at Irving Plaza.
“That is a complete impossibility because at 9:30 p.m. … she was at home nursing her 4-month-old,” Dawn Florio, Remy’s lawyer, claimed during the initial court appearance.
It was revealed during Friday’s court proceeding, however, that an updated criminal complaint put this alleged assault at 10:30 p.m.
Prosecutor Juan Maldonado said in court that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office had offered Remy a no-jail plea deal. Under this deal, Remy would plead guilty to the top charge, assault in the third degree, and complete anger management.
Remy, who didn’t enter a plea in court, rejected this deal, prompting the upcoming trial.
Florio also claimed in court that “through social media, Ms. Taylor has on the record [said] that she suffers from mental illness, bipolar depression.” Florio also said she wants prosecutors to find out whether Taylor is under “psychiatric treatment.”
